What's its link to the Geminids meteor shower?

Asteroid 3200 Phaethon is the "mother of all Geminids", according to space.com. The stream of debris running from the asteroid is what causes meteors to fly from the constellation Gemini, hence their name.

These magical Geminids appear as a streak against the sky, with around 60 to 120 to be viewed in recent years.

It's normally comets that produce meteor showers, not asteroids - and so the vast rock is still causing bafflement among astronomers.
